BlueOptics QSFP28 network transceiver module SFP-LR-LC100-BO, Fiber optic, 100000 Mbit/s, LC, 10000 m

BlueOptics QSFP28 network transceiver module SFP-LR-LC100-BO is a 100GBASE-LR4 compatible QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver with an LC duplex connector designed for single-mode links up to 10,000 m. The module supports 100000 Mbit/s throughput and includes Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser current, transmit/receive power and temperature. It is CE/FCC/RoHS compliant, intended for use in data centers and carrier networks and is tested for compatibility with LANCOM hardware.

Advantages

The transceiver provides high bandwidth at 100 Gbit/s over single-mode fiber with LC duplex connectivity, enabling long-reach links up to 10 km. Integrated DDM/DOM simplifies remote diagnostics and maintenance. Components are selected from established suppliers to achieve a long MTBF and stable operation in standard network equipment that supports 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 modules.

Suitable for

• 100G backbone links in data centers and carrier networks
• Connections between switches, routers and storage systems up to 10 km
• High-capacity aggregation and distribution layers requiring LR4 optical interfaces

When it may not be suitable

This module is designed for single-mode fiber and LR4 applications; it is not suitable for multimode fiber links or short-reach (SR) deployments. It requires host hardware that supports QSFP28 100GBASE-LR4 modules and, for DDM/DOM monitoring, the host must expose that diagnostic interface.

Key specifications

• Maximum data rate: 100000 Mbit/s (100 Gbit/s)
• Supported link length: up to 10000 m (single-mode fiber)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Form factor: QSFP28 (100GBASE-LR4)
• Monitoring: DDM/DOM (SFF-8472 compliant)
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to +70°C
• Colour: silver; weight: 0.04 kg

How to use

Insert the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on a switch, router or other network device that supports 100GBASE-LR4. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cables between transceivers or to a patch panel, ensuring correct polarity. If monitoring is required, enable or poll the DDM/DOM registers through the host management interface to read real-time parameters such as optical power and temperature.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your network device explicitly supports 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 modules and compatible third-party transceivers
• Ensure you will use single-mode fiber and LC duplex connectors for links up to 10 km
• Check whether DDM/DOM monitoring is needed and supported by your host hardware
• Verify operating temperature range matches your deployment environment

Recommendations

For reliable long-reach 100G links, use high-quality single-mode LC duplex patch cables, keep fiber connectors clean, and enable DDM/DOM monitoring where available to track optical power and temperature trends.
